VII. Deare if you chāge ile neuer chuse againe
Deare if you chāge ile neuer chuse againe,
Sweete if you shrinke Ile neuer thinke of loue,
Fayre if you faile, ile iudge all beauty vaine,
Wise if to weake moe wits ile neuer proue.
Deare, sweete, faire, wise, change shrinke nor be not weake,
And on my faith, my faith shall neuer breake.
Sweete if you shrinke Ile neuer thinke of loue,
Fayre if you faile, ile iudge all beauty vaine,
Wise if to weake moe wits ile neuer proue.
Deare, sweete, faire, wise, change shrinke nor be not weake,
And on my faith, my faith shall neuer breake.
Earth with her flowers shall sooner heau'n adorne,
Heauen her bright stars through earths dim globe shall moue,
Fire heate shall loose and frosts of flames be borne,
Ayre made to shine as blacke as hell shall proue:
Earth, heauen, fire, ayre, the world transform'd shall vew,
E're I proue false to faith, or strange to you.
Heauen her bright stars through earths dim globe shall moue,
Fire heate shall loose and frosts of flames be borne,
Ayre made to shine as blacke as hell shall proue:
Earth, heauen, fire, ayre, the world transform'd shall vew,
E're I proue false to faith, or strange to you.
